Lanka to Face Rights Investigation

http://youtu.be/AkOZwaxTniU

Mahinda Samarasinghe, the Sri Lankan envoy to the Human Rights Council, argued that to censure it now is premature given how recently the civil war ended. “We have confidence in our domestic process and mechanisms,” he told the council. “Our efforts in this regard are ongoing and have not reached a conclusion.”

Bangkok will see the first ever Pheu Thai governor ascend to office

Bangkok will see the first ever Pheu Thai governor ascend to office

There are a lot of reasons why once-hesitant Bangkokians may cast their ballot for Pongsapat come election time. The “phobia” associated with voting Pheu Thai may finally be dissipating and many voters are enticed by his proposals for addressing the traffic issue. After years of contentious relations between the Democrat-run BMA and the national government, voters could find Pongsapat’s slogan of “working seamlessly with the government” to be quite appealing as well. The past four years have been a turbulent time in the city and many voters may simply be unimpressed with Sukhumband’s performance and looking for something new.

“Yes, I will definitely choose Pongsapat,” a middle-aged taxi driver told me after taking me in from Siam Center, Pongsapat’s final destination during the day of campaigning during which I followed him around.

“Sukhumbhand sucked. I haven’t seen any concrete developments during his term,” the man added.

Michael Jordan he’s famous for being cut from his high school basketball team

Inspirational Story – Michael Jordan, He’s famous for being cut from his high school basketball team. He turned out to be the greatest basketball player but never let failure deter him. I love this quote…“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
